Motor Fuel Group (MFG) has completed the initial stage of the £40m upgrade of Morrisons forecourts following the acquisition in April 2024.
The work has seen 337 Morrisons petrol forecourts upgraded in the first phase, with more than 400 sites set to receive ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging.
This next stage will target investment specifically into ultra-rapid EV charging infrastructure, with 800 150kW EV chargers in hubs within the first five years, as well as valeting services.
It aims to make the forecourt operator one of the largest ultra-rapid charge point operators in the UK with a landbank of more than 1,300 sites that will be capable of serving and powering millions of customers a week.
This is in addition to MFG’s commitment to investment of £400 million in ultra-rapid EV chargers by 2030 across its entire network.
William Bannister, CEO, MFG, said:
“We are delighted to have completed our initial investment into the upgrading of the acquired Morrisons forecourts, both on time and with minimal disruption to our customers and local communities.
Our primary goal is to ensure every customer that enters an MFG site is catered for, whether this be through retail, valeting or fuel offerings. In addition, we aim to become a hub within our communities, providing a reliable service and a wide range of retail products. We are now looking ahead to the next phase of our investment into the Morrisons forecourts, which will focus on further upgrades across the sites, as well as the implementation of our EV charging strategy.”
